Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers like the performance and quality of the electricity generator. They say it works well enough for both devices. However, some customers have reported issues with the amperage, housing, and noise. They mention that the unit is noisy and sounds like an electric drill. They are also disappointed with resistance and build quality.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are satisfied with the performance of the electricity generator. They mention that it works great now, is much more operational, and works well enough for both devices.
"...6 more smoothly than my new Samsung Galaxy 8, but it works well enough for both devices and any inconsistencies in pedaling resistance when charging..." Read more
"...Works great now. The way I was using it was actually the problem. Great response from the company, sorted me out in no time." Read more
"...I like the bicycle peddles. It is much more operational over a longer period of time using both feet or both hands. Other devices use only one hand...." Read more
"Works as advertised. Small but well built...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the build quality of the electricity generator. Some mention it's well built, sturdy, and reliable, while others say that the components crack and break fairly often. The entire system feels flimsy, and the force pedalling exerts causes the Powerbox to break.
"...pedal unit it was reliable. Using the Powerbox in that fashion provides a great upper body workout. I have two Powerboxes and I am satisfied...." Read more
"It charges well and the construction feels sturdy but it slides around constantly (Which i expected)...." Read more
"...gearing system inside still uses plastic gears, and thus the entire system feels flimsy...." Read more

"Awkward to use. Mostly a toy to use. Nor2much power from this. Go solar and you'll be better than this." Read more
"...But didn't tell how long it would take, or the the low amperage output, which makes it useless if it takes so many hours of pedaling...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the housing of the electricity generator. They mention that the housing is made of plastic and is not intended to be stepped on or abused. The two supports are molded plastic, and the gear system inside still uses plastic gears.
"...the job. The housing is plastic and not intended to be stepped on, or abused like a bicycle. Let's face it bikes are made of steel...." Read more
"...Be careful though, the gearing system inside still uses plastic gears, and thus the entire system feels flimsy...." Read more

"...Also the noise is pretty annoying. However it's always a good exercise paddling this generator when I sit and watch the ipad with my earphone." Read more
"...It is also very loud." Read more
Customers find the resistance of the electricity generator to be high, even with no load on the system. They also say the pedal resistance is not constant, making it impossible to pedal at a constant rate.
"The unit had a problem where the resistance is not constant...." Read more
"This is a really tough model. My fingers were wounded several times while assembling the paddle and stand for the generator...." Read more
"...There is a lot of resistance even with no load on the system. They were not able to light an incandescent bulb...." Read more

willingness to work with me, a very demanding customer. I went with four stars because there is
room for improvement. The product performs as advertised and generated enough power to keep your
cell phones and tablets charged. The design is innovative, and the portability excellent. My goal was to use it as an exercise bike
and the stress of the weight and force pedalling exerts caused the Powerbox to break. This is not the fault of the Powerbox per se, it does
the job. The housing is plastic and not intended to be stepped on, or abused like a bicycle. Let's face it bikes are made of steel.
The product is terrific for Apple Products and chargers. My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Note 10.1 with two amp chargers
taxed the Powebox to the limit, mainly because Samsung has maxed out fast charging and as long as I used the Powerbox as a hand
pedal unit it was reliable. Using the Powerbox in that fashion provides a great upper body workout. I have two Powerboxes and I am satisfied. My only complaint that may not be possible to correct is the unit is noisy and sounds like an electric drill. In a hurricane or blackout, who cares, right. If you use this every day for charging your phones in the house or an apartment expect some negative feedback from those not pedalling. It is annoying. Ken has indicated he is working on a more robust higher power design, and I expect that will be
another breakthrough in Generator design. If you ar an enthusiastic Prepper or just an interested engineering type who cares about power generation and emergency services, I wouldn't wait, I'd buy a Powerbox. If you have a problem K-Tor has the best customer service I have ever dealt with.
Very disappointed and frustrated about this
(EDIT: 5 stars now, turns out I had plugged too much into it. The device adjusts the resistance automatically for the power draw, and I was over-loading it. Works great now. The way I was using it was actually the problem. Great response from the company, sorted me out in no time.

折り畳めるので外に持ち出すのも比較的容易だと思います。
短絡させれば火起こしすら可能です。
ただ悪いと思った点がいくつかあります。
・室内で使うにはペダルがトゲトゲしてて痛い。
・床に接する部分が滑りやすい(しかも何かに固定しにくい形状)
・ギア比が軽いです。100V出力するには1秒間に1.5回のペースで回す必要があります。BPM180のペースで片足づつ踏み込むと考えるとかなり速いことが分かると思います。ギア比を上げてペダルが重くてももう少し遅いペースで漕げれば楽だと思います。子供でも使えるようにっていう配慮?
私にとっての想定外は、充電したいもの「バッテリー」の充電には30W必要だったということです。
これを充電しようとすると、ちょっと充電。出力足りず。オフ。また発電。という感じで、で回す負荷がムラになる現象がおこるようです。このまま使い続けると、本機にも、バッテリーにも悪影響とのこと。(カスタマーセンタの対応は、とても丁寧なので星5+アルファです。)
何に使うか?それは何Wか? よく調べておくと良いでしょう。
